I had a chance to hunt last Sunday to hunt on a friend's ranch here in west Texas. This Afghan Urial cross ram was bullying a purebred Urial(very expensive) on the ranch so he became expendable. I took him after a spot and stalk with my Bowen 414SM at about 60 yards. I was shooting a 210 grain Sierra bullet over 1680 powder. He weighed about 350 pounds and as you can see a good full curl.

I have it in an AR and in a Ruger bolt action. Both are fun and my GF likes to shoot both. Now... THAT'S the best reason I've heard yet! Greg, she really likes the bolt action 300 blackout with the can. She asks “Did it shoot?”

Can you eat Aoudad? Well...I know you can but is it enjoyable? Some eat it. It is not enjoyable in my experience. If you brine it for a couple weeks and change the water every day, the back straps are edible.

I had a chance to do a little low fence free range hunting a couple of weeks ago NW of Utopia, TX near Vanderpool. The Blackbuck and the Aoudad were both shot with my Blaser R8 in 280. I took my 414SM but it didn't work out for this skittish pair. The Blackbuck was about 20" on the good horn and was a bargain because of the broken right horn. The Aoudad was 28". Neither are huge but great animals for free range in the hill country of Texas. This was a spur of the moment hunt but I have a couple of revolver hunts planned that are coming up. Curtis

My son and I whacked these at Junction last week. Day hunts to take advantage of covid and economic cancellations has worked out. I used a Blaser R8 280 and he used an Encore 7mm Rem Mag. Curtis

My 414 really likes 1680 powder as well. I think it is one of Lee’s favorite powders for this round too. I had my 414 purpose built for hunting with optics as well. You have a good memory Robb. AA1680 has shot the best in all five of my .414 SuperMags. eskimo36 - below is the link to a load list I compiled. You may want to try some in your .414. Slick looking conversion. www.singleactions.com/TheSuperMags7.html-Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time" Thanks Lee

I would love to snick, snick, snick that hammer. Greg, you’d never get over it. 😂

I have a 6 shot 38 special and a 9mm from Alan Harton. Both are built on New model Ruger Single sixes. I also have a Gallagher 41 Special in a 5 shot OM single six. What's that gun with the barrel band? It’s a Ben Forkin 22 mag

Very cool, is that a drill & tap mount? It is a drill and tap Weigand that Bowen installed.

Finally I was able to get home and open this box from Hamilton. I’m sure it has an Axis in its future.
